Happy 2012 friends!!! Here’s to a new year of opportunity, prosperity, and cherished experiences. I’m looking forward to some wonderful things to come and am grateful for the chance to share many of those things with you here!
Christmas Cheer!
Merry belated Christmas, everyone! I am writing this post from a cozy place on my in-law’s sofa with a belly full of Southern-style Cracker Barrel breakfast and sitting beside my husband. It’s wonderful! Between my plate full of work projects and David’s busy school schedule, we’ve been hustling quite a lot for the past several months....
Small Shop {out-takes}
In case you missed my guest post for Erika of small shop talk earlier this week, here are a few out-takes from my “One Dress, Three Ways” post.

It’s simple, classic, and unfussy, which is exactly what I love! The spotted pattern on...

Pedestal Entry Table… TAKE TWO
This series has been so much fun for me! Who doesn’t love an excuse to shop the local thrifts and fleas each weekend? Those that know me understand my obsession.
